Auxin-induced cell wall loosening is dependent upon the osmotic concentration of the external solution. The tissues are auxin-insensitive whenever OPe is greater than some critical value. If OPe is lowered below the critical value, auxin-induced plastic stretching occurs. The tissue again becomes auxin-insensitive If OPe exceeds the critical value. The critical value (0.1-0.15 M mannitol) bears no apparent relation to the isotonic value, and its position is unaffected by the auxin concentration. The rate of plastic stretching in the region of low OPe is proportional to OPe. The proportionality constant is dependent upon the auxin concentration. 2. The elastic stretching-OPe curve shows a critical point both in the presence and absence of auxin. Under conditions of high OPe, elasticity is low and auxin-insensitive, while with low OPe, elasticity is higher and is auxin-sensitive. 3. A rapid increase in irreversible elongation causes a concomitant increase in ES. The magnitude of the increase in ES is dependent upon the concentration of auxin rather than the rapidity of IE. 4. When IE is limited by a high OPe, there is an auxin-insensitive conversion of ES into IE. 5. Auxin causes a reduction in wall pressure in Avena coleoptiles only when turgor pressure exceeds some critical value.
